Horizon view
Horizon from Gutenberg A
9.0276° S, 39.9108° E · cell 28LEK
- Highest horizon point
- Gutenberg A: 24.7° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 125°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 26°, 23.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,046 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 82.0° high at azimuth 343°, 59.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:18 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
